Researchers develop hook-and-loop fastener for building components
An interdisciplinary research team at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) has developed a hook-and-loop fastening system for buildings in the ReCon project together with company partners. This allows different parts of a building to be resiliently connected and, if necessary, easily separated from each other.

You can't say Ithaca isn't building housing: here are (left to right) Harolds Square and Asteri looming in the background with murals on the side of the Press Bay Alley retail development
#ithaca #buildings

In front of a dark blue and prefectly blue sky find two gray and white apartment buildings, the one on the left a bit smaller than the one on the right but both about the same height if you take perspective into account. Below those a row of light brown brick buildings and a white wall with murals that say: Ithaca is amusing, CIRCUS CULTURE and TACOS COMX with some vegetation in silhoutte in the foreground of that.

In the far distance there is a striking five story high building in two-point perspective on the side of a straight river-like body of water. The building is surrounded by trees on both sides. In the near frame are the rusted steel beams of a bridge, two small guardraials running horizontally near the bottom and vertical and diagonal beams attach to the arch that supports the bridge, most importantly the building is framed by a vertical and diagonal beam.

A huge clump of petunias mostly fills the lower left 1/4 of the frame, a similar clump can be seen further away and behind both of those a flagpole with an American and POW/MIA flag and a small historic brick building with a square footprint seen corner-on. Behind it all a blue sky with high-altitude clouds with power lines that don't quite meet at a 90 degree angle because I used a wide angle lens and I was looking up from the ground.
